In search of meaning in the classroom with Viktor Frankl

Viktor Frankl's work is becoming increasingly well-known, especially for the book "Man's Search for Meaning", considered by many to be his most important work. There are several teachers from different disciplines who try to include it as compulsory reading in formal education, both secondary and university. The objective of this text is to provide teachers with tools to apply logotherapy (logotheory, to be more precise) in formal education with adolescents. Therefore, some conceptual content is integrated with the attitudinal content proposed by logotherapy. Education in the logotherapeutic sense seeks to be an antidote to existential emptiness, focusing on the possibility of preventing and promoting the dimensions of man. The activities suggested in this book attempt to appeal to adolescents to make better use of their responsible freedom, so that they learn to find meaning in life through the discovery of values.
